Tales of the TMNT 57

I, too, thought it was odd that no one died. Tales is so back-and-forth about violence, swearing. I mean last month every other word was ****, and this month we get, like, "imbecile" and "doofus" and stuff.

Not much to say about Jim Lawson's art this month. I wish he didn't rush so much. I really did like his art of the Turtles at the start of Vol. 4, but now everything is stylized way too much. Or too little. Please Jim, bring back rulers and rounded body parts.

I do notice, however, that Mike is getting a bit more screen time in the comics these days. I can't complain about that.

It was a cute story, but... wow, I never thought I'd say this. Tales is getting almost a little too sappy at times for me! I mean ... we know they're a family. We're never allowed to forget.

I really liked how, in Vol. 4, the Turtles got kind of split up for a while ... you know there will be a nice reunion when they get back together, but it won't be too maudlin.
